Thank you so much to Alarie Tennille, one of The Ekphrastic Review's regular poets, for supporting Ekphrastic at Patreon.

Alarie has been with us as a reader and writer from our inception. She has been a wonderful cheerleader to myself and to other poets who confer together on Facebook.

I can't thank you enough dear Alarie!

The Ekphrastic Review is free to read and enjoy and free to submit to. We do not and never will charge "reading fees"- we are dead set against this. We refuse to use foul click bait ads.

If you would like to support our maintenance and development, there are a few ways you can do so:

1. Become a Patreon supporter.

Patreon is a forward thinking system that allows private citizens and consumers the opportunity to patronize or support creatives to develop their projects. It's easy to use and you basically pledge an amount per month, starting at 2$. The patreon page is a general page for my creative projects. You should know that The Ekphrastic Review takes approximately 25 percent to a third of all of my work time, and you can specify that you want your donation to go towards that time and not my painting or exhibitions. I am looking for innovative ways to make my time commitments more realistic for the long haul as Ekphrastic grows and grows. I wasn't expecting it to become anything but a fun little hobby for a few hours a month. It takes about 45 hours a month now. I love it and if you do too, help me continue! We're in this together. Thank you.

It's my pleasure to support The Ekphrastic Review. I urge all regular visitors to this site to make a pledge and considerate it a subscription. You likely pay for other journals that bring a much less steady stream of pleasure and inspiration.
